ialf that { he- populists occupied with their

When the body was called to order a few
tolnutos after 2 o'clock by Chairman Frank
lllbbard of the county central committee ,
Ihbro were about seventy-five delegate * ? pres
ent. The call was read and nominations for
temporary chairman were wiled for. The
names of M. J. O'Connell , V. Wilson and
J. J. Points were presented. As usual , the
convention developed Into a wrangle from the
very start. Four ballots wore required be
fore Wilson wns elected , He was called to
the chair and IP a brief speech thanked the
convention for recognizing the younger ele
ment In the party.
Secretary Mark Nelson of the county cen
tral committee refuted to run for secretary
and W. Wlnenaml of West Omaha precinct
was clcctrd to the position. S. I1. Great was
elected asulHlant. As there was a contest In
the Fifth ward , a credentials committee was
appointed as follows : J. W. Harriott , E. S.
Miller , W. II. 1'etltt , Fwnlt Hlbbanl and .1.
Kelly Macomb The fusion delegation In
this ward claimed election by one vote ,
which the anti-fusion delegation held was II-
Irgrl. While the committee was out the free
ellvcr republican committee came Into the
liall with a proposition to adjourn both con
ventions for a wtck until the democratic con
vention opcurs , and Individually labored
hard with Iho delegates lo bring them ovar
to their way of thinking. The credentials
committee returned a report seating the
contested , or fusion , delegation. The report
was unanimously adopted ,
A motion was passed to nuke the tem-
p'jraiy organization permanent. ' Assistant
Secretary Great left the hall and V. B. ICIn-
ncw of ihe Seventh ward was elected to fill
the vacancy. It was then moved that a com
mittee of live be appointed by the chair to

The conference committee then reported
In favor of an adjournment to next Sat
urday at 2 o'clock. The report brought
Louis J. Him to bis feet with a vigorous
p.rotteit. He uald that the fusion plan was
nothing but a scheme to sidetrack the pop
ulist party. He maintained that the money
question wan-only an Ignis fatuus to lead the
populists from their fight against the pre
vailing commercial condition.
John Tlerney took a positive stand against
adjournment. Ho said the fusion party had
b'ccomo as "rotten as h 1. " At the state
convention , where he wre a delegate , he
knew tiiiit the populists had been bought
und sold. If the populists fused again he
announced that ho would bolt. Ho wanted n
utralght ticket nominated and u plain plat
form adopted.
Mark Nelson spoke In the same strain.
II. Cohen and Dave Howden answered ami
hoon the convention was In the usual popu-
llstlo turmoil. V. 0. Strlckler finally In-
Bltitcd that the convention should go nheaJ
and nominate Its proportion of the fusion
county ticket , three out of the nine olllccrs.
After a eon Iderablo discussion , In which A.
O. Gale , J. M. Kenny and 'others advised
that thu populicts meet their "frlouds. "
Strlchlor'H suggestion was Incorporated In a
motion , which was dccbred out of order.
Then the vote on the report was called for.
The roll was culled by wanln and pre
cincts. The vote resulted In favor of the
adoption of the report , 101 to 3G.
Strlckler at once Jumped to his feet with
a motion that the convention nominate three
ofilcers on the county ticket before adjourn
ing. The motion was seconded , but Chair
man Wilson would not put It. He recognized
J. M. Kenney , who moved to adjourn at once
Another roll call was demanded.
The vole was ! ) . ' ! to 'M In favor "ot adjourn
niont. Chairman Wilson Immediately declanM
the convention adjourned until " o'clock next

The county convention ot the free sllvt-r
republican * was brld In Iho Knights of
l abor hall yesterday afternoon elmultano-
oiidly with the convention of the populists ,
liotli eon volitions were held on the kamo
floor , but In different rooms. There was
no gateway between thu two conventions ,
and us u mult the member * of the one
perambulated about the other as though
they were at home. Most of the vIMtlng WAS
done by the tree silver republicans , nearly
all of whom epent most of their time an
Interested spectators of the proceedings of
the populists. The attendance was not
large and It was very variable. It. ranged
from four to twenty-four , though most ot
the time there were ICM than a dozen
present.
i The convention was called to order by
it , C. Wheeler , chairman of the county
central committee. C , 0. Lobcck wan elected
temporary chairman , and K. S , Dradley tem
porary secretary , and soon afterward the
temporary organization was made permanent.
On motion of Dr. Mercer a committee ot five
was appointed to confer with a similar com-
mttteo of the populists regarding adjourn
ment ot the two conventions for a week ,
During the absence of the committee vari
ous delegates and spectators were called
upon to fill In the time with Oliver talks.
Those who responded were : Frank Hansom ,
Harry 12. lUirnham , U , D. Gregory , Ilcv.
John Albert Williams , any Dnrton , Dr. Sa-
vllle. Dr. Mercer and T. F. Sturglts.
There was an effort made to name the
members of the county central committee ,
but It failed , After waiting about an hour
to get a report from the populists Dr.
Mercer and noveral otlicra were In favor
of adjourning anyway. Dr. Savlllo and H.
1' . Williams oppcacd this , as they said the
frco silver republicans had once before been
handed the tarred end ot the slick because
they wcri' In a hurry to adjourn. So the
convention resolved to wait till the populists
adjourned , oven If It were not before mid
night , and so for two hours the convention
waited , but moat of Us members had strolled
away , before an adjournment to Saturday
next at 1' p. m. was taken.

This evening at sundown there will bo
ushered Into being the Jewish New Year ,
C65S. which date l supposed to represent
the number of years that have elapsed Rlncc
the creation of the world. Of course , the
Jew does not so overlook the factw of sclenco
as to Imagine that the world Is not yet 0,000
years old ; nor Is he BO unprogrcsslve in
thought as lo believe In the literal truth
of the six-day creation as narrated In the
opening chapters of Genesis. The cosmogony
of the bible Is to him a beautiful allegory
Illustrative of God's creative power.
The date liGSS , therefore , actually signifies
the number of years through which the Jew
can trace the continuity of his history a
longer period than that of any other peoples
on earth. It is arrived at by counting back
ward , guided by the historical events noticed
In the bible , and in. of course only approx
imate.
The biblical Injunction upon which the
celebration of Hosh Hashono Is based Is found
In Leviticus xxlll , 24 , and In slightly differ
ent words is repeated in Numbcni xxl.x , 1-2.
It reads as follows : "In the seventh month ,
on the' first day of the month , yo shall have
a rest ; a day of memorial ; of sounding the
trumpet , a holy convocation. No servile
work shall ye do and yo shall offer a burnt
Bacrlfico unto the Lord. "
Doubtless , to these unacquainted with the
origin ot the feast , It must seem strange
that the new year should be celebrated In
the seventh mouth , rather than the first.
This is explained by the fact that Its chan-
ucter as n now year's festival did not belong
to It originally , but was taken on as late as
the time ot the Dabylonlan exile.
Unlike most ot the Jewish festivals the
Itosh Hushono does not commemorate any
gicat event In the national or religious his
tory of the Jews. It Is purely a day Intended
for spiritual endeavor for lifting man , as
it were , above the concerns of the material
world and preparing him for the solemn
celebration of the day of atonement , ten
cluys later. The Hash Hashono Is really the
beginning of the religious year for the Jews ,
as distinct from the civil year , which com
mences six months before , on the first of
Nissan. The month of Tishrl , which begins
simultaneously with the new year , is essen
tially a period ot holy days. On the 10th
occur * Yom KIppur , or atonement day , and
beginning un > the evening of the Hth and
continuing until sundown of the 21st ! hc
fast of tabernacles , called Succoth , Is cele
brated.
It ib doubtless because It Is a purely re
ligious festival that Hash Hashono Is ob
served by Jews the world over , both of the
orthodox and reform schools , 'with ' greater
solemnity than any of the holidays that
have simply a historical significance. H Is
an index to the fact that though the Jew Is
perfectly at one in all the concerns ot life
with those people among whom ho makes bib
home , his religious consciousness Is yet ah
clearly pronounced as It has been through
out all his long and varied history.
Naturally , the day Is not celebrated today
according to the letter of the Mosaic Com
mand. The trumpet blast enjoined origi
nally as an allegorical awakening of the con
science to the call of duty Is substitutes
where it baa not been abandoned altogether
by the cornet. This applies of course only
to the reform congregations , for among the
txtrenu'ly orthodox worshippers the ram's
horn I ; , still used on this day.
Aiming all Jews the- sacrificial cultl Is a
thing of the past and the burnt offering Is
replaced by voluntary acts of charity.
The dating * of the Jewish calendar Is not
used In commercial transactions of any kind ,
and though the world over the Jews will
"celebrate tonight the birth of the new year
fifliiS the date will represent only the dura
tion of their religious history. The cus
tomary Hebrew greeting for the new year
Is the words , "L'shono tovo tlcko-sa-vu , "
which means literally. "May you be inscribed
for a good year , " and the response , Is In the
same welds slightly transposed.

The Board of County commissioners , sit
ting .as a committee of the whole , met with
representatives of the TranBinlsslsslppl and
International Exposition yesterday afternoon
to confer regarding the petition which had 1
been submitted to the commissioners , ask
ing that a question be submitted to the vote
of the people for the Issuance of county
bonds In the sum of $100.000. It was de
cided that the proposition should bo sub
mitted at the coming election , but the exact
form of the question to bn submitted to vote
of the people was not agreed tipon , an ad
journment being taken until Monday mornIng - I
Ing at 10.30 o'clock for further considera
tion of this matter.
The exposition was represented by Presi
dent Wattles , Chairman Llndsey , Managers
Hosowator and Heed and Director Whsrton.
Commissioner Ostrom was inado chairman
ot tne meeting- tne committee. The peti
tion asking for the submission ot the bond
proposition was read and upon motion of
Commlsloncr Stcnberg was referred to n
committee of two 10 examine the signatures
and report whether the necessary number of
signatures (1,000) ( , ) appeared to the petition.
The chair appointed as this committee Com
missioners SlonbcrK and Hoctor.
After examining Ihe document this com
mittee reported that it found there were
1,391 signatures ; It was also reported that
very few duplication of signatures had been
found , thereby making it certain that the
required number had been secured.
"Commissioner Stenrcrg then moved that
It be the sense of the board that a proposi
tion be submitted to Iho voters ot Douglas
county at the coming election providing tor
the issuance of the bonds of the county In
the sum of $100,000. running twenty years ,
und bearing Interest at the rate ot 4 > 6 per
cent , payable seml-annually.
This motion was adopted unanimously
after some discussion on the part of Com
missioner .Hoctor , who thought the bonds
would sell well at 4 per cent Interest , but
It was the sense of the other members that
the time was so short within which the
money would be needed , If voted , that It
would be unwise to run the risk of havliiiv
to advertise the bonds several times before
disposing of them on account of the sharp
demand for money.
Commissioner Klerstead said It WES most
Important that the bond proposition should
be constructed In such a way as to Insplro
confidence on the part of the people In the
disposition of the money In order that the
proposition might be carried. He submitted
a form of proposition which had been pre
pared 'by C. S. Montgomery , corporation
.counsel for the exposition. This was taken
up 'by the board and gone over very care
fully and deliberately , paragraph by para
graph , the county attorney and Mr. Wharton -
ton taking part In the consideration of this
Important document.
Before the proposition had been entirely
formulated the meeting adjourned until Mon
day morning , when the proposition will be
completed and finally acted upon at the
meeting of the board Tuesday morning.

Comptroller Weatberg left yesterday even
ing for Kansas City for the purpose ot
trying to make arrangements with the
Armour Parking company to secure a leave
of absence for ex-Deputy Comptroller
Wettllng that he may come to Omaha and
assist the city legal department In the
prosecution of the suit against the liolln
bondsmen. This course wus decided upon
at a conference betwefii the comptroller and
the mayor and city attorney yesterday.
Mr. Wcatberg will take with him letters
from Mayor Moorts and City Attorney Cou
ncil to the Kansas City manager for Mr.
Armour , stating the necessity'tor Mr.
Wettllng's presence. Jn this connection Mr.
Westberg received the following letter from
Mr. Wettllng yesterday , which explains
Itself :
"KANSAS CITY , Sept. 24 , 1897. Mr.
John N. Westberg , Otnaha , Net ) . : Mr. Dear
Friend I was considerably surprised to note
the editorial In The Bee of last Friday , but
more so one which was forwarded to me
today. I cin't imagine wherein I have In
curred the enmity of any one on The Bee
force , nor why such matter should be said
about me when there Is iut the slightest
foundation for It. All my friends have
known that I hive been looking for a posi
tion for the last three years and that 1
was at no time satisfied with a political po
sition nor with the salary that I received.
I told Mr. Connell that I would do all lu
my power to help him and still stand ready
to do so , but that what I did must not
Jeopardize my position beie. I have my
subpoena and expect to give It proper at
tention.
'rAMr. Connell promised to wrlto the Ar
mour Packing company a nice letter , asking
them to relieve mo for the necessary time ,
but I have heard nothing In regard to It , BO
I presume that he has not yet done so.
Please remind him that It would make It
much easier for me to get away , and also
that he must let me know Just when end
for how Ions he will want me , for time Iri
precious when ono Is employed with Ar
mour.
"In regard to my being scon with Ran
som , I can't understand why so much ( should
bo made of that circumstance. You will
probably remember that during tbo latter
part of August you gave me a day's leave
of absence to go to Lincoln , and I told you
at the time that I was going down with
Hansom to look over some of the Bartley
books. I saw him twice afterward In regard
to the matter , and the day before leaving
called at his office to notify him that I was
leaving Omaha and would not be of any
further service In the matter. I trust you
will have the kindness to put me right In
this matter , as you surely realize , If no one
else will , that my leaving at this time was
necessary to secure th.e positionwhich , was
open , but could not bo held , , as' I asked It
be until after the trial. I shall see/ yon
soon and explain more fully If this does not
cover all the charges and insinuations. Re
gards to all the boys In office and city hall.

Six men and two women have been arrested -
rested by the police on suspicion that they
had a hand In one ot the many cases of
burglary and theft that occurred In Iho city
dining the past week. From the ( act
that Bomo of the members of the crowd were
found with stolen property In their posses
sion tbu authorities nre confident of succeed
ing In convicting at least a portion of them.
Four of the persons , J. D. llognn , John
Daughcrty , Thomas QI11 and Sam Carroll ,
\vcro found by Detectives Sheep and Savage
In a lower Harney street b cr garden.
Whca Bcarccd at the station a. heavy gold
watch , brenstplu , a gold coin and some val
uable trinkets wcro found In their posses
sion , Hidden In the ulcevo of llogan was
a pair of nippers , designed to turn keys.
The tool Is of the llncst pattern and Is
capable ot unlocking uny ordinary door.
The personal property was later Idcutllled
as part of that stolen from Chris II. Long ,
whoso house wits among these raided Thurs
day night. Long lives at 1210 I'ark Wilde
avenue and returned to 11 nil ills house open
and completely sacked. The burglars had
taken their time and secured numerous
other articles besides those recovered.
Yesterday a coat anil vest which Carroll
was wearing were Identified as clothing
which belongs to Herman Summers , 2-11 ! )
South Eleventh street , whose house was
entered Thursday night during the parade.
Consequently two different Informations of
burglary will bo filed against him , one for
robbing Ixmg's leslaenco and the other for
robbing Summer's.
MAKING A FB\V AIWESTS.
At midnight Friday a raid was made
upon thu rooms at Fifteenth stiect and
Capitol avenue occupied by Hubert Wlnslow ,
AV. Drown , Mabel Clark and Anna Hender
son. In the room were found an overcoat
and two sack coats , which have been
Idcnllllud as simple clothing stolen out of
the rooms of a traveling man of Chicago , H.
I. Mantz , at 1103 Harney strtct , lost Wednes
day. A valise of trinkets and ilrctd gojJs
was also found In the room , but no owner
for this pioperty bus yet appeared. This
p.irty came from les Molncs and Is sup
posed to have been traveling over the state
fair circuit.
Friday nleLt also Charles Sin'th. all s Law
rence Hunt , who Is Bald lo be a professional
crook , was picked up by the police. It Is
stated that he was In company with the
crowd arrested in the beer garden , but BUC-
cccdcd In making his escape. Another ar
rest was made In the person of Dan G.
Hurley , who Is said to be a noted pickpocket.
Pcoplo who had their1 pockets robbed during
Thursday night's parade hive been at the
police station to view the prisoner , but BO
far none have Identified htm.
The Immense amount of criminal work
that was done Thursday and Thursday night
came as a great blow to the police. As tin-re
had been comparatively little done on the
preceding days the authorities were con
gratulating themselves In the belief that
they had put in jail all the criminals who
were coming or had come to the city. A
considerable number of suspicions characters
had been arrested. It Is believed now that
tl)3 really professional crooks did not ar
rive until Thursday with the big crowds that
came Into the city on that day. The gen
eral opinion also prevails that they departed
with the visitors who left Friday.
There are still some pickpockets left. That
at least Is the firm opinion of James Sliallcr ,
613 North Twenty-third street , who was
robbed of a watch Friday night la a crowd at
Fifteenth and Douglas streets.
FIVE MORE AUHESTS.
Yesterday afternoon two of the detectives
ran Into a trio of men at the corner of Four
teenth and Dodge streeta. They were surly
and refused to answer questions put to them.
Upon attempting to arrest one of them the
gang showed fight. For several minutes the
corner took on a warlike appearance , but
when the dust cleared the officers had their
men.

At the station the prisoners gave the names
of Frank Harrington and Frank White. The
third man refused to divulge Ma name.
Nothing of value was found upon the sus
pects and all were jalletl pending an Investi
gation. A few minutes after the nun who
refused to give his name had been locked up
ho began to grow abusive and brandished a
razor , which had escaped the Jailer's eye.
With considerable difficulty It was taken
away from him by Captain Haze. Upon the
razor the nameof "Wallace" was found en
graved. It Is supposed to have been stolen.
Barly yesterday afternoon two other sus
pects were also jailed by the police. They
gave the names of H. T. Iloblnson and Frank
Gossett. In police parlance they are known
